This textbook discusses the Korean management in detail, in order to explain how Koreans have employed the most effective means of management to pursue their economic development goal. Several sources and reliable data, including those from the book, Management Behind Industrialization by Professors from Korea University, have been drawn to support the author's argument.

The content of this book is divided into 7 chapters. Chapter One is an Introduction presenting the arguments from various leading social scientists who present their explanation on why Korean economic development is markedly successful within a short period of time. The author then draws up his framework to investigate the management that might be a key factor leading to Korean economic development success. Chapter Two begins with a theoretical framework that looks at politics and administration as interrelated factors to be used in explaining the Korean phenomenon. Moreover, public and private management in Korea have been formulated by using the western concepts and indigenous systems, and effectively adapted themselves to the changing environment through time. So, the system becomes unique and works well in the Korean socio-cultural structure.

Chapter Three investigates the historical context for how and why Koreans have adopted Chinese, Japanese and the Western systems of management into their culture. Koreans have wisely selected those elements that are suitable to their environment.

Chapter Four and Five discuss on the Public Administration and Chapter Six explains Private Administration in full detail. The author points out the process of crystalization of Korean management. However, he also mentions problems within the system and how they can overcome such challenges.

The final Chapter indicates the major character of the Korean management system, and also presents a total picture of the Korean case as a lesson to Thailand.
